Taming Master

Ian approaches the exchange, and the NPC standing guard smiles brightly.

“This is the Contribution Point Exchange. What can I help you with?"

Ian felt better when he saw a woman's NPC with pointy, long ears that reminded him of an elf and a beautiful appearance.

“Oh, I just wanted to see the artifacts inside. ”

“I see. May I have your name?" We'll look at your Contribution Points. ”

Ian nodded and replied.

“Ian." ”

“Yes, Ian, one moment, please. ”

Then NPC entered something into the floating magic sphere next to the entrance, looking surprised and returned to Ian.

“Ah, you must be the Prophet! ”

Suddenly, he looks at the NPC with a very high affinity, and Ian nods, his head shaking.

“Th-that's right. How many Contribution Points do I have? ”

“The Prophet's Contribution Points are 5,000. ”

“Aha, I see. ”

It was as Ian remembered.

In fact, after the 5,000 Contribution Points received when reaching level 50 for the first time, it was natural because there was no reason for the Contribution Points to rise.

“Come this way, Ian. Inside there are many artifacts and skill books that can be exchanged for Contribution Points. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

The NPC takes Ian inside the exchange, smiling and lowering his head slightly.

“Ian, please look around and let me know if you like anything. ”

“Yes, I understand. ”

NPC returns to its place, and Ian begins to explore the items inside the exchange.

Ian's level was not yet high, so there were limited items to see, but it was still a huge amount.

“No one has exchanged items for Contribution Points yet. ”

It's only been two days since the tower was built, so there can't be anyone with Contribution Points except Ian.

No matter how simple the quest was, the job quest usually took more than a day.

Ian picked up the items on top of the exhibition and checked the options one by one.

"Wow, this is the same kind of knuckle I just bought at the auction house, right? ’

Ian picked up an item called the Ancient Summoner's Steel Sword.

It was very similar to Ian's knuckles, starting with the name and level restrictions of the item to the options.

Ian checked the required Contribution Points in front of the item.

‘Hmm, 350 Contribution Points...? This item was worth this much. ’

Among the quests you get in the Tower of Normal Work, you can get 200 to 400 Contribution Points based on various conditions by completing a difficulty level B.

350 Contribution Points were not that large.

Ian suddenly remembered the ‘Feather Decoration of Dragon Tamer’ item he was wearing.

‘Are there items that can be obtained with Contribution Points as good as my feather ornaments? ’

The Dragon Tamer feather decoration was a legendary item of rank, as the option was good and bad.

Legendary grade items were so rare that I had never seen them before, and I only saw them a couple times in the tower exchange in my archery career.

‘The first time I saw a legendary rank item in the Archer Tower... was it about level 80? ’

Higher level items appear more frequently in the Exchange.

Ian also thought about raising the level quickly.

I searched diligently through the items in the Exchange, but they were all of the same grade.

He was only level 50, so maybe it was natural.

“Hmm... I'm done here... ”

I also found a few items that I like, but I thought it would be better to search the auction house for items of that level.

It seemed wise to save Contribution Points and replace them with better items later.

‘Let's go to the next room. ’

The room next door was a place where skill books could be exchanged.

The skill book wanted to exchange at least one if it was okay.

Let's see your offensive skills first. ’

Otherwise, he was a summoner lacking in his own attack skills, and Ian's former ‘Taming Master’ class was more focused on taking skills.

So now Ian has almost no attack skills.

It was fun to use your well-bred summoners to lead the battle, but Ian was equally fun to contribute directly to the battle as well.

So I decided to buy an attack skill first.

“‘Veil of Flame’...? What kind of wizard skills do you have? ”

Ian took out a skill called the Veil of Flame and read it once.

---------------------------------------

- Veil of Flame -

Category - Active Skills

Skill Level - lv 0

Skill Rank - Rare

Skill - 0%

Consumption Value - 20 Spirit Power

Cooldown - 3 minutes

Summons the Fire Spirit to temporarily create a Tent of Flame.

When you stop an enemy attack with a tent of flame, it absorbs 350% of its summoning damage and returns 200% of its fire damage.

* Skill Acquisition Requirement: Only available when you have learned the Passive Skill ‘Summon Spirit of Flame’.

---------------------------------------

In Ian's eyes, he was young.

“Oh, is that what summoning and spiritual magic are for? ”

When I reached level 50, I found the first used bird of a new occupational special stat.

Summoning power was a stat that affected Attack Magic and Spirit Magic was a consumption value for using skills.

As a wizard, it was similar to Manawa.

"Let's see, what's my stat now? ’

Ian opens a status window in a long time to check his stats.

The summoning power is 500? Your Spirit Magic Power is 100... So this skill will absorb up to 1750 damage and deal 1000 damage? Spirit Magic costs about a fifth. ’

Not a bad skill.

But given the 3 minutes cooldown, it wasn't a very good skill.

‘Let's see some other skills. ’

Ian identified a few more skills.

And soon I was able to come to a conclusion.

‘Summoners' attack magic is almost anesthetic based. It's also important to decide which attribute you want to choose first. ’

Before choosing Attack Magic, I had to start thinking about which elements I'd learned to summon with a passive skill.

‘Flame and ice are good... but somehow the electrocution attributes are attracted...? ’

Ian picks up the 'Full-width Spirit Summoning' skill and ponders for a moment.

‘An elemental attack with other attributes could somehow be covered by summons. ’

The cake stand that Ian is carrying right now is a summon of frozen properties.

And while many of the attributes such as fire and earth were thought of, there were many monsters that could be used for tasting, but none of the monsters in the electrolyte family came to mind.

‘Yes, let's go with the electrostatic attack magic first. ’

Learning the full family didn't mean that you couldn't learn other attributes of animosity later, and Ian quickly decided.

"Well, I need 500 Contribution Points. It's a bit of a waste... ’

Either way, Ian picks up the 'Full-width Spirit Summoning' skill book and begins to reverse the attack magic of the Fulcrum family.

And soon I found a skill I liked.

---------------------------------------

- Current expansion -

Category - Active Skills

Skill Level - lv 0

Skill Rank - Hero

Skill - 0%

Consumption Value - 15 Spirit Power

Cooldown - 1 minute

Summons the electric spirit to create a sphere with current flowing in both hands.

Throws a blast sphere that strikes enemies that deals 250% of the summoning power to the enemy. The sphere is divided into 4 parts and sprints out quickly.

Spheres that bounce off are bounced off again when striking a nearby enemy, or feature, and remain for 5 seconds before completely disappearing.

15% chance to cause 'paralysis’ for 20 seconds to the enemy affected by current growth.

When you are ‘paralyzed’, your Movement is slowed by 30% and you take 50% more damage from attacks with Blitz properties.

* Skill Acquisition Requirement: Only available after learning the Passive Skill ‘Spirit of Electric Summoning'.

* Skill Activation Condition: Skill can only be activated with summoned Holy Spirit of Blitz.

* When ‘paralysis’ is triggered abnormally, the cooldown time for reuse is reset.

---------------------------------------

Ian liked the current growth the most, although he was less aggressive than other ‘hero’ grade attack skills.

‘It's less aggressive, but it's not the aggressive force that dominates my attacks in battle anyway.... ’

You should try current propagation, but I thought it would be very useful because it can cause damage and 'paralysis’ to multiple individuals' enemies at once.

And if the ‘paralysis’ that was triggered with a 15% chance of luck continued, the cooldown time could also be reset and the skill could be fired.

If we hit multiple enemies at once, we could really keep shooting. ’

The more enemies you hit, the more likely you are to be paralyzed in one place.

A maximum of 6 consecutive skills could be triggered if the paralysis continues to be triggered if fortunate.

I haven't really used it yet, so I didn't really feel like it, but it seemed like a good skill.

‘Contribution Points are not a waste. ’

Skill that requires a Contribution Point of 1200.

Nevertheless, Ian picked up the skill book without hesitation.

Ian leaves with two skill books, and the NPC standing at the entrance smiles brightly.

“Oh my, did you pick them all, Ian? ”

“Yes, here are two. ”

When Ian reaches out his skill book, NPC takes a quick look and answers.

“Well, let's see. You need a total of 1,700 Contribution Points. ”

Ian nodded and replied.

“Yes, I'll use it. ”

“You've picked out some really good skills. Is there anything else you'd like to exchange? ”

I was going to save the remaining 3300 Contribution Points, so I didn't have anything else to see here.

“Yes. I'll come back another time. ”

“Yes, come again next time! ”

Ian exchanged two skill books using a total of 1700 Contribution Points before escaping the Summoner's Tower.

Immediately used a skill book to learn both skills.

[Skill Book used to acquire the 'Full-width Spirit Summoning' skill.]

[Skill book used to acquire the 'Current Growth’ skill.]

As two lines of system messages appear, a small spark begins to pop up in front of Ian's eyes.

“Huh...? What's this?”

Ian watches with an interesting look as the pale yellow lights clump.

And the clustered lights grew bigger and bigger, and they formed a shape.

And….

[You have summoned the Blitz Spirit for the first time. You can name a Spirit.]

Ian stares blankly at the electric spirit in front of him for a moment.

The spirit had a cute look that reminded it of a little sparrow.

“Um... Your name is... ”

Ian thinks of a name, and the summoned spirit starts to howl in a frenzy.

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

At that moment, the name of the Spirit was decided.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. ”

Ian prefers simple and easy to pronounce names.

Ian named it after the cry of the Spirit easily this time.

[The name of the 'Holy Spirit of Electric Shock’ became 'Thud’.]

It was a name without a last name, but Ian was satisfied with the taste of his own name.

“Heave, come here. ”

As I reached out my hand as I spoke, a small yellow bird that was flying through the air suddenly flew and sat on Ian's palm.

Wh-Whoa, Jack.

The impact of a spark rising from the surroundings was a little more tingling than the normal cries of a baby bird.

Are you calling it "Stab-Stab"? I wonder who's not a full-blown spirit... ’

Ian smiles satisfactorily as he sees a subtle cry between the sound of birds and sparks bouncing.

“He still doesn't need a leadership stat. ”

I liked this part the most.

Ian checks the information of his gaze at him with a flashy glare on the palm of his hand.

---------------------------------------

[Electricity crackling]

Spirit: 0/1000

Attribute: Electric Shock

Rank: Lesser Spirit

Summon Duration: 375 min (Cooldown: 500 min)

* When a Spirit reaches MAX, it evolves into a higher Spirit.

(A certain amount of Spirit is emitted each time you use a summoning spell that requires an electrostatic attribute.)

* The higher the summoning power of the Summoner, the longer the summoning duration of the Spirit.

---------------------------------------

A relatively simple info window.

Ian smiles bitterly.

So, you don't have any combat skills? ’

Tseng seems to have no combat skills.

I didn't expect much because I looked small and cute, but it was still a bit bitter.

‘Somehow I didn't need a leadership stat…. Then think of it as the medium necessary to use summoning magic related to full power attributes. ’

Some were unfortunate, but some were expected.

After all, once you reach MAX, you will be able to evolve into a higher grade spirit.

‘Strong ones are good from the beginning, but the taste of growing up a game is also exhilarating. ’

Ian stepped forward thinking positively.

“Now, Celia or something, shall we go see the Emperor? ”

Ian stepped out of the square to meet the emperor.

The Imperial Palace is not far from Plynor Square.
